Overall positive but improvements desired

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall the software provided efficiencies in the audit and FS review processes. Though it does not fully provide what we need, the pros outweigh the cons, so we continue to use the software in out day to day audit and FS review processes.

Pros:

Reduced the amount of time reviewing financial statements, reduced audit documentation time, and increased efficiency in reviewing audit documentation

Cons:

There were multiple issues identified with the automated results of the financial statement suites, and reduced functionality of some features with the latest version issued made certain aspects of FS review more difficult than in previous versions.

The Bottomline: DataSnipper

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall I had a great experience with DataaSnipper, I even took the time to watch other videos to improve my DataaSnipper skills.

Pros:

I loved the automated features. It enabled me to complete my detailed testing within an hour and this allowed me to conduct a proper test on all aspects as I didn't have any time constraints. The ability to search for a specific sentence in 100pages and be able to pull the information onto my working papers. The ability to also place validation checks on information where we reviewed is also a major plus.

Cons:

The zoom lesson was a bit too fast, however after watching the recording it was much easier to manage.

Increase productivity by saving a ton of time by using data snipper

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Have definitely saved time. If the occasional crashes are taken care of, It will be the best app.

Pros:

OCR functionality, Copy from clipboard, Document matching, sum snip

Cons:

It highlights the number I selected in excel, but it does not navigate to that exact field. That functionality using a button will be very helpful

Great software to ease the auditing documentation

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Ease of useCompatibilityFast and efficient

Cons:

Uses its own formatting, which is sometimes a little annoying in big files, should only just high light and rest of the formatting should be same like the cell. After deleting snips, also messes up formatting and not revert it to original self.

Use of DS for Audit

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: In conclusion, Datasnipper weighs more on pros rather than cons.

Pros:

Certainly document matching, text snip, sum snip.

Cons:

Makes file size larger when documents are uploaded for data snipping. Sometimes when it's too much documents, it makes the excel slow or not responding.

DataSnipper review

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Very intuitive to use. Great time saving tool, especially the financial statements suite. There are additional features like embedding documents into a file which works significantly better than the default Microsoft embedding and allows easier cross referencing / support for figures. Table snips are very useful to for extracting data from bank statements.

Cons:

No cons or any suggestions for improvements.

Datasnipper Fanatic

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Sensational, probably my favorite tool to use while completing testing. Genuinely get excited when I find a good opportunity to use it!

Pros:

Datasnipper allows everyone to work faster through testing in audit. Whether it's using it for manual snips to avoid typing, or using document matching or form extraction to pull information quickly from hundreds on invoices... Datasnipper is a time saver for all parties from staff to partner.

Cons:

Not much, I think they need to publicize training videos or make more of them so people understand how to use it more. I've been teaching alot of poeple within my firm personally. I want everyone to use it!

Amazing tool-Data Snipper

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I Love data snipper and would be recommending it to all colleagues and friends.

Pros:

Data snipper helped avoid manually entering data and it reduced the time to 1/10th of what it took originally and also eliminate any human errors.

Cons:

Sometimes table snip can throw the formatting a bit off. Apart from that there's nothing that comes to mind so far.

Extremely helpful

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

It is convenient to not have to go through any process to link documents to excel. Datasnipper makes it easy to bring in documents, pull information out of those documents, while linking that information to the exact place you found it. Extremely helpful for audits.

Cons:

The process of deleting snips is a little tedious and can be frustrating when it looks like the snip has been deleted, but the link still seems to be present.

Review

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Makes the job quicker and easier to review.

Cons:

That when i use document matching on f.example. dates, if many invoices have the same date, one document gets all the snips. Maybe there could have been a place to "hook" that you want max one snip per document when you use document matching?
